Houston, this is the FINAL weekend of NBC Universal's Clear The Shelters event, and we need your help more than ever. Our shelter is FULL, and our resources are stretched. Thanks to a sponsorship from our partners at Houston Pets Alive, we're waiving adoption fees to help as many pets as possible find loving homes. Now is the time to make a difference!

๐Ÿ“… Adoption Specials All Weekend:
๐Ÿ• Dogs (5 months or older): FREE
๐Ÿˆ Cats & Kittens: FREE

Adopting or fostering a pet doesn't just change their lifeโ€”it changes yours. Our shelter is at capacity, and every pet adopted or fostered opens up space for another in need. We can't do this without you, Houston! ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’•

๐Ÿ“ Visit us at: 3300 Carr St., Houston, TX
๐Ÿ•› Adoption Hours: 12 pm - 5 pm

: Meet Fabio (A1955857), the ultimate certified lover boy in a fluffy, 45 lb package! ๐Ÿ’› This blonde heartthrob is the man of your dreamsโ€”minus the drama, of course.

Fabio comes fully loaded with all the good stuff: house-trained, crate-trained, and walks on a loose leash. Basically, heโ€™s got the โ€œgood boiโ€ software pre-installed. ๐Ÿพ

This king is all about that soft lifeโ€”low to medium energy, loves kids, gets along with his foster sis (a pittie mix), and is ready for all the snuggles and Netflix marathons. ๐ŸŽฅโœจ Plus, heโ€™s an all-around MVP whether youโ€™re in a cozy apartment or a spacious house. ๐Ÿ 

Fabio's looking for his forever fam who will love him as much as he loves them (and trust us, thatโ€™s a LOT). With patience and TLC, heโ€™s guaranteed to be the realest ride-or-die. ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ‘‘

Swipe right on Fabio and letโ€™s get this pup into his happily ever after! Email [email protected] to meet this cutie patootie.

Looking for a loyal companion? Adopt an adult dog at BARC for just $50! ๐Ÿพ Adult dogs are often the perfect fit and ready to be your best friend from day one. Plus, our PURRFURRED pets, like Ted (A1958644), can be adopted for just $5!

๐Ÿพ Ted is the ultimate lovebug! He is a sweet and affectionate boy whoโ€™s ready to find his forever home. When you approach his kennel, youโ€™ll be greeted with a waggy tail and a playful barkโ€”he just canโ€™t wait to meet you! Ted walks nicely on a leash and loves exploring the world around him. Heโ€™s curious about other dogs but stays focused on his walk and his human. ๐Ÿ•โค๏ธ

Each adoption includes spay/neuter surgery, dewormer, vaccinations, flea prevention, a microchip, and a one-year registration with the City of Houston. Give an adult dog the loving home they deserve. ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

With temperatures soaring and a heat advisory in effect for Houston over the next few days, it's essential to prioritize the safety and well-being of our furry friends. Here are some hot weather tips from BARC to keep your pets cool and comfortable during this heatwave:

๐Ÿšฐ ๐—ž๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐—›๐˜†๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ: Ensure your pets always have access to clean, cool water. Multiple water sources throughout your home can help keep them hydrated all day. A pet fountain can also help keep water fresh and enticing.

๐Ÿ  ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ: Shield your pets from the extreme heat by bringing them indoors during the hottest parts of the day. If itโ€™s too hot for you, itโ€™s definitely too hot for them! Remember, City Ordinance requires proper outdoor shelter to protect pets from extreme temperatures.

๐Ÿ• ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜: Plan walks and exercise sessions during cooler times, such as early mornings or late evenings, to avoid injuries from hot pavement.

๐Ÿš— ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€: Even with windows cracked, temperatures inside a parked car can skyrocket within minutes. Always take your pets with you or leave them at home where itโ€™s safe and cool.

๐Ÿšจ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—”๐—ถ๐—ฑ: Know the signs of heat distress and heat stroke in pets. Quick intervention can be lifesaving.

If you see animals suffering due to the extreme heat, report it immediately to the Harris County Animal Cruelty Taskforce at 832-927-PAWS. Remember, in Texas, itโ€™s illegal to leave pets outdoors in extreme weather conditions, including excessive heat. Letโ€™s keep our pets safe and comfortable this summer! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ
